Tiger / Zebra Elephant Ear - Alocasia zebrina
$18.99
+ Free Shipping
It's a tiger... it's a zebra... it's an Alocasia zebrina. This houseplant will bring a little of the rainforest into your home with its zebra/tiger-like striped stems. The stripes in this variety are a little more prominent than the Reticulata. With this Alocasia's small height and need for warmth, humidity, indirect light, and low water, it can be successfully grown indoors. Please note that elephant ears' attributes and colors become more defined when they mature.
• Height when mature: 2-3 feet
• Light: Bright but indirect
• Soil: Rich, well-drained
• Water: Moist but not soggy, allow top layer to dry out slightly before watering.
• Zones: 9-11

Received a tiny plant of 2 leaves, it's been struggling under perfect conditions. I ordered 2 plants and neither are good. Would like a refund.

Arrived quickly in good condition! There was one yellowing leaf on arrival. One leaf died and the other is now yellowing but there is another leaf growing in it's place. I'm happy with my purchase!

I bought a Zebrina. The packaging was well intended. Too much room in box to keep plant from moving around and being a little beat up. Overall, I'm happy with it. I will order from these people again.
G
Well packaged. As described. Healthy root system with multiple leaves.
